This Esschert Design bird fat ball feeder protects wild birds from predators and harsh weather. Hanging from a tree or hook, it automatically releases fat balls by gravity for a long-lasting food supply.
This robin-style letterbox nesting box also accommodates redstarts and flycatchers. Install it in a sheltered spot away from direct sunlight and rain, and clean it every autumn.
Essentials for you:
This letterbox-style nesting box is suitable for robins. It can also accommodate redstarts or flycatchers, which readily nest in this type of open box.
For robins, place it on the ground or up to 1.5 meters high. For redstarts and flycatchers, hang it on a tree or wall between 1 and 5 meters high.
To protect the box from magpies, cats, and other predators, surround it with wire mesh (about 5 x 5 cm squares) or barbed wire.
It is recommended to clean the box preferably in autumn. In winter, it often serves as a refuge for birds escaping harsh weather.
